(Photo: AFP)WASHINGTON - Donald Trump returned to office vowing to be the peace president. Nevertheless, both Trump and his aides insist that military muscle is the path to real peace. In one irony, the latest Nobel Peace Prize, so coveted by Trump, went to Venezuela’s opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, whose name the US president did not appear initially to know. Trump, however, has won one peace prize since taking office. Gianni Infantino, the president of Fifa, presented Trump last month with a prize from football’s governing body ahead of the US co-hosting the World Cup.
